Free Speech For Me, None For Thee

That is apparently the mantra of the left. Why else would these paragons of "free speech" be so set to try someone for "war crimes" simply for writing a column in a newspaper?

AFTER a lecture to the Marine Memorial Association last week, a reporter thrust a mike toward me and asked if I thought I should be tried for war crimes for my columns in The Post supporting our military.

The reporter - who avoided revealing what outlet he was with - thought he was being wonderfully clever, but what fascinated me about the silly encounter (it was in San Francisco, after all) was how unintentionally revealing it was about the shameless hypocrisy of the left.

Think about it: For expressing my views to readers like you on these pages, hardcore leftists believe I should be put on trial as a war criminal.

It would be funny if it weren't so true. The folks behind the #dontgo Twitter feed found that out yesterday when MoveOn.org followers "twitterbombed" their feed. One member Twittered that the conservatives needed to be chased out of "their" venue and another arrogantly bragged in her own blog that she personally "broke" Twitter calling the Don't Go Movement a "false grass roots" movement simply because we are not "one of them".

That is the "tolerance" of the left. Those of you coming to Minneapolis and St. Paul for the convention had better brace yourselves because this is the kind of "welcome" you can expect from the "Minnesota Nice" folks in the City of Lakes!
